Default Hi Rise hood owners please go inside

How is the fitment on the hood? One of the only companies I have seen is Toledo Pro, so how does the hood fit? Anything to look out for?

Thanks,
-Stephen

i had a similar post but no replies this is my question is the under side of the hood smooth or is it the rough looking fiberglass? also does the factory emblem fit it or do you have to buy a different one? thanks

The underside is perfectly smooth, and the factory emblem fits perfect.

Try this www.acivette.com
I saw their high rise C4 hood at Bloomington this summer and it was nicely finished both inside and out.

Go over to the ZR1 section of the forum and find MrCrowley. He helped me save a few hundred dollars when I ordered mine.

Default Toledo is the best

I have tried every aftermarket fiberglass company out there (vanicors, C5 west, ACI, and Toledo pro) Toledo was by FAR the best fit and finish with the raised hood looking more stock than the others with the way it is designed. the emblems are recessed and is a cool added feature. Vanicors is ok but you have to do a lot of prep work. his molds are not exact and the part is in a pretty rough form. they are workable though. the hood is not a part that you want to take off and on to work fitment 20 or 30 times to get it right. Never buy from c5west unless you are a fiberglass god. because his stuff never fits and is the worst fiberglass parts I have every seen, and he does not back what he sells. Every single part will transfer to your Toledo with not modification which is VERY rare when it comes to after market fiberglass parts. ACI is good also but more expensive. the fit is good and the glass is well formed, also but for the money Toledo is the way to go.

i can tell you i am no body man by any means and this was the first and only corvette hood i did and i didnt see any fitmant issues and the body shop was very pleased how the hood looked it is a very quality piece i never saw a toledo in person but i love my vanacors the main reason i did not like the toledo is how it comes to a point in the front its not as tough looking as mine is imho
